Product Application
Elastimold Switchgear building blocks as described on the previous section can be combined
Underground
into a wide arrangement of configurations and applied to solve different system challenges in
the distribution system. Elastimold Switchgear products can be classified in three categories
according to the function they perform:
Switching and Sectionalizing Equipment
Overcurrent Protection Equipment
Automatic Source Transfer Equipment
These products can be applied in different types of installations:

Padmount
Subsurface / wet or dry vaults

The switching or manual sectionalizing of loads can be accomplished with the use of Molded
Vacuum Switch (MVS) modules. The simplest manual sectionalizer is a single MVS switch, which
can be installed in a vault, on a pole or inside a padmount enclosure. One of the most popular
applications of this sectionalizer is as a replacement for existing oil fuse cutouts. Two, three and
four-way units are also available in vault and padmount styles. Switches also aid in the manual
reconfiguration of distribution loops by installing them at the open point in the circuit.
Overcurrent protection is accomplished using Molded Canister Fuse (MCAN) or Molded
Vacuum Interrupter (MVI) modules. These can be used in combination with MVS modules.
The simplest product is a single MVI unit, which can be installed in a vault, on a pole or inside
a padmount enclosure. One of the most widely used applications for this configuration is as a
replacement for existing oil fuse cutouts. Two, three and four-way units are also available in any
combination of MVI, MCAN and MVS modules and in vault and padmount styles. Fuses and
interrupters are applied in underground loops to aid in the sectionalizing of the main feeder
and by providing protection to the loads along the loop. For more information on canister fuses,
please refer to the Fuses Product Selection Guide (PG-PC-H).
PG-PC-E-0907

Manual Sectionalizing
Underground
Load switching is required when:

1. A load needs to be isolated to perform maintenance
2. A load needs to be isolated to repair a fault
3. A loop needs to be reconfigured to feed certain load from a different substation and
isolate the faulted portion of the loop
In any case, the use of a manual sectionalizer contributes to reduce the length of time that
unfaulted or unaffected portions of the system are exposed to an outage. This results in
improved reliability of the system as the duration of outages is reduced (i.e. the SAIDI and
CAIDI reliability indices).
Switching products can be applied as replacement for existing Oil Fuse Cutouts or as Manual
Sectionalizers for loops or radial feeders. Depending on the application, these sectionalizers
may be installed in a vault or inside a padmount enclosure. Pole installations are also available.
MANUAL SECTIONALIZING IMPROVES RELIABILITY
In the example to the right, a radial feeder is

exposed to two failures in one year. Without
any manual sectionalizing, all customers are
subject to both failures and are out of power
until failures are restored. Assuming that the
duration of outage one (F1) is one hour, and
outage two (F2) is two hours, the calculation
of SAIDI shows 3 hours of interruption
duration per year.
With the use of an MVS at the midpoint of

the feeder, the restoration time is reduced.
Once the fault is located, the MVS is open
to isolate the faulted portion of the feeder.
At this point, the other half of the feeder
can be energized, reducing the outage
duration or SAIDI from 3 hours to 2.5
hours per year (16.6%).
Similar application of MVS switches in loop configurations contribute to significantly reduce

the outage duration. In these cases, single or multi-way switch configurations can be applied.
PG-PC-E-0907

Automatic Sectionalizing
Fault-interrupting devices are used on:

Underground
1. Feeders to sectionalize, so that if there is a fault only a small section of the load
is affected
2. Radial taps deriving from a main feeder or loop, so that a fault on a tap is isolated
from the main circuit
3. Network transformers to isolate the devices in case of overcurrent, excessive
pressure/temperature, etc.
While a switching device contributes to decrease the duration of outages, fault interrupters
contribute to decrease the duration AND frequency of outages (i.e. SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI,
CAIFI reliability indices).
AUTOMATIC SECTIONALIZING IMPROVES RELIABILITY
In the example to the right, a radial feeder is

exposed to two failures in one year. Without
any automatic sectionalizing (overcurrent
protection), all customers are subject to both
failures and are out of power until failures are
restored. Assuming that the duration of outage
one (F1) is one hour, and outage two (F2) is two
hours, the calculation of SAIDI shows 3 hours of
interruption duration per year. The calculation of
the frequency of interruptions (SAIFI) shows two
interruptions per year.
With the use of an MVI overcurrent fault-interrupting

device at the midpoint of the feeder, failure F2
only affects half of the load. Proper protection
coordination, between the MVI and the substation
breaker, allows the MVI to clear the fault before any
customers between the MVI and the breaker are
affected. Frequency and duration of interruption are
significantly reduced. SAIDI is reduced from 3 to 2
hours of interruption per year (33%), and SAIFI is
reduced from 2 to 1.5 interruptions per year (25%).
Similar improvements can be

accomplished with the use of MVIs
in loop systems. A typical example
of the use of radial protection
off the main feeder to improve
reliability is the use of single-phase
MVIs in sectionalizing cabinets.
These cabinets can be installed
with no tap protection at the
beginning of a construction project
and MVIs can be added as the loads
come online.

In the case of underground loops, the switching devices along the loop can be used to
reconfigure the loop. Thus, regardless of the location of the fault, the switches will operate
to isolate the faulted portion of the loop and restore service to the remaining customers.
In the following example, permanent Fault A will cause the breaker to lock out and all
customers up to the open point will be subjected to an outage. The next step is to locate the
fault. After the fault is located, it is necessary to reconfigure the loop to isolate the faulted
portion. This is done by opening Switch 1 and closing Switch 2. These operations can be
done manually or via SCADA.

The main application of source transfer packages is to transfer a load from one power source
to another. In some cases, when the load is not critical, this is done manually using a switching
device (see switching section). In the case of critical loads such as hospitals, financial institutions,
manufacturing facilities and any other load that would have computerized equipment, a fast
transfer is required between the main (preferred) source and the backup (alternate) source.
It is important for the automatic source transfer not to affect the operation of the load because
any interruption of the business process translates into costly lost production and setup time.
The preferred and backup sources are normally utility feeders, but in some cases the backup
source may be a generator.
Elastimold Switchgear offers automatic transfer (AT) packages capable of performing a full
transfer in less than two seconds. The system monitors the voltage on the preferred source and
initiates a transfer when the voltage is below the acceptable level for the customer. At this point,
the preferred source is disconnected and the alternate source connected. AT packages include:
Two three-phase MVS Switches with motor operators (one for the preferred source
and one for the alternate source).
Six voltage sensors (one for each phase of the MVS switches). These sensors monitor
voltage on every phase and feed their output to the AT control.

AT control which receives the output from the voltage sensors and determines if there
is a loss of voltage. If there is a loss of voltage, the AT control sends an OPEN signal to
the preferred source MVS, and a CLOSE signal to the alternate source MVS. When the
voltage is restored, the system transfers back to its normal state, either automatically or
at a set time.
One or two protected taps These can be MCAN or MVI modules, which protect the critical
load against overcurrent. Solid taps are also available.

Underground

The reliability of conventional radial or looped
underground distribution circuits is measured
in terms of the number and/or frequency of
interruptions. These measurements cannot be
directly applied to a network system. A typical
network system has built-in redundancy. During
most events the continuity of power supply to
the end user is not affected by fault conditions
on the high side of the network transformers.
So, from the point of view of customer interruptions network systems are reliable.
However, transformer failures have been known
to result in catastrophic fires, explosions and
even loss of lives. The failure or overload of
multiple transformers within a network may
ultimately result in the interruption of
service to the end user.
LOSS OF REDUNDANCY
Loss of redundancy is a method that highlights the increased vulnerability of
the system every time a network transformer is lost. Loss of redundancy indices are
calculated as follows:
S (No. Hours a Transformer is Disconnected

Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/yr) =
Frequency of Loss of Redundancy (times/yr) =
* No. of Transformers in the Circuit)

No. of Transformers in the Circuit
Total No. Transformer De-energizations
No. of Transformers in the Circuit
Where the number of transformers in the circuit is the number of transformers energized
by the same feeder.
14
PG-PC-E-0907

The Loss of Redundancy indices are calculated in the following example.
Underground
EXAMPLE 1: NO HIGH-SIDE TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
One substation breaker and one exclusive feeder out to the network
Five transformers are energized by the same feeder
Assume one permanent fault on one transformer in one year
Assume the faulted transformer is de-energized for 6 hours
Because there is only one
breaker for five transformers,
a failure in one transformer
translates in the interruption
of power to 5 transformers for
6 hours.
(6 * 5)
5
5
5
= 6 hours/year
= 1 time/year
Loss of redundancy can occur as a consequence of:

Transformer fire
Transformer overheating
Transformer pressure build-up
Overcurrent condition
While the substation breaker may detect most overcurrent faults, faults caused by excessive
pressure/heat or fires cannot be detected by the breaker. One method that allows the automatic
isolation of a network transformer from the primary side, regardless of the type of failure, is
the installation of an MVI fault interrupter on the high side of the transformer. This MVI can
isolate based on overcurrent conditions but also can be wired to isolate the transformer in case
of fire, excessive pressure / heat, emergency signal, etc.
Benefits of such a setup to the network system and the end users include:

Minimization of fire damage

Reduction or elimination of transformer damage
due to pressure or temperature build-up
Longer transformer life
The following example calculates the loss of redundancy of the same system used in Example 1,
but adding protection to the primary side of the transformers.
EXAMPLE 2: HIGH-SIDE TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
One substation breaker and one exclusive feeder out to the network
Five transformers are energized by the same feeder
Each transformer is equipped with a fault interrupter installed on the high-side
Assume one permanent fault on one transformer in one year
Assume the transformer is de-energized for 6 hours
A failure in one transformer
translates in the interruption
of power to only 1 transformer
for 6 hours.

Once an MVI is installed, remote operation from the entrance of the vault or via SCADA
is possible with the addition of a motor operator and control. Installation of panic/
emergency push buttons at the entrance of the vault is also possible; pressing this
emergency switch will instantaneously trip open one or all of the interrupters in a vault
and isolate the transformers.

MVI Molded Vacuum Fault Interrupters

are devices capable of making, carrying and
automatically interrupting currents through
12,500 amperes symmetrical on 5-38kV
distribution systems. The MVI combines
vacuum interrupters, programmable
electronic self-powered controls and high
dielectric strength EPDM rubber insulation
to provide compact, lightweight, submersible,
overcurrent protection. Units include moldedin elbow connection interfaces, trip-free
mechanism and are available in single-phase
and three-phase models.
Units are self-powered and include currentsensing and electronic control. The control is
field programmable with a wide range of TimeCurrent Characteristic (TCC) curves and trip
settings. The TCC curves provide predictable
tripping for ease of coordination with upstream
and/or downstream protective devices. The
control monitors the circuit condition and when
the programmed parameters are exceeded,
a signal is sent to the tripping mechanism.
Motor operators and controls are available
and allow reconfiguration of radial feeders
or loops, manually or via SCADA.

MVI Molded Vacuum Fault

Interrupters have been designed
and tested per applicable portions
of IEEE, ANSI, NEMA and other
industry standards including:

Underground
Molded Vacuum Interrupters are provided with self-powered electronic control packages,
requiring no batteries or external power. Field-selectable Fuse or Relay Curves and Trip
Settings are available. The controls monitor current through the interrupter and, if an
overcurrent condition is detected, send a signal to the vacuum interrupters to trip open and
interrupt the fault. Depending on the application, four electronic control options are available
for the MVI:
INTERNAL CONTROL
This control is integral to the unit (no separate

control box). It is accessible via computer
connection to view or modify settings. This control
is used on ganged three-phase or single-phase MVI
interrupters. Phase and Ground trip, as well as
Inrush restraint, are available. The E-Set software
allows the user to connect to the internal control
either in the shop or the field to program or change
settings. MVI-STP programming connector is
required to connect between the PC and the MVI.
With a computer connected to the MVI control
the user can view real-time currents, the number
of overcurrent protection operations, current
magnitude of the last trip and the phase/ground
fault targets. This is the standard control option.
Note: E-set can be downloaded from

www.elastimoldswitchgear.com
EXTERNAL CONTROL WITH SINGLE / THREE-PHASE TRIP SELECTION (Style 10)
This control is mounted externally to the mechanism and

provides the ability to select TCCs by setting dip switches
on the front panel. Each phase can be assigned
a different minimum trip setting by means of manual
rotary switches. This control is used on one, two or
three single-phase MVI mechanisms.
EXTERNAL CONTROL WITH PHASE AND GROUND TRIP (Style 20)
This control is mounted externally to the mechanism

and provides the ability to select phase minimum
trip (one for all three phases), time delay for phase
tripping, ground trip as a percent of phase minimum
trip, and ground trip delay by means of manual rotary
switches. This control may be used on ganged threephase or three single-phase MVI mechanisms.
22
PG-PC-E-0907

EXTERNAL CONTROL WITH THREE-PHASE TRIP ONLY (Style 30)
Underground
This control is mounted externally to the mechanism and

provides the ability to select phase minimum trip (one for
all three phases) by means of a manual rotary switch.
It also has an RS232 port for connection to a PC to
view the last trip data. This control is used on ganged
three-phase or three single-phase MVI mechanisms.
EXTERNAL CONTROL WITH SELECTABLE SINGLE / THREE-PHASE TRIP FUNCTION (80 Control)
This control is mounted externally to the mechanism of

the interrupter and provides the ability to select between
single-phase trip and three-phase trip. The 80 Control can
be used with one three-phase interrupter or with three
single-phase interrupters. For three-phase applications, the
ground trip function can be blocked from the front panel.
Manual Trip and Reset Target buttons are also located on
the front panel. This control uses the E-Set software, which
allows programming via computer using the MVI-STP
adapter. E-Set features custom TCC curves and provides
access to the last fault event information, as well as
real-time-current per phase.

Fault Indicators
Thomas & Betts Elastimold Fault Indicators aid
in the location and isolation of the faulted cable
or equipment in overhead and underground
distribution systems through 35kV (L-G). This
product guide details the different types of
faulted circuit indicators, voltage indicators and
phase indicators. With a complete line of elbow
test point mount and cable mount indicators,
you will find the best product to meet your
systems performance needs.

FAULTED CIRCUIT
UNFAULTED CIRCUIT
INDICATOR SHOWING
FAULTED CIRCUIT DISPLAY
INDICATOR SHOWING
NORMAL CIRCUIT DISPLAY
Fault Indicators reduce outage duration

by quickly pinpointing the location of the
fault. As shown in the circuit diagram,
the fault is located between the last tripped
indicator and the first untripped indicator.
Once identified, this section is switched
to become the new open point, allowing
full service restoration to the rest of the
customers during repairs.
False tripping occurs when the indicator trips due

to high currents that are feeding the fault from
a down line location (e.g. from capacitor banks).
TPMVOL or OLMVOL indicators will not false trip.
After the fault occurs, the indicator located beyond
the fault has no voltage running through it, which
prevents any operation of the indicator even if the
backfed current is above the trip setting.
False resetting occurs when an indicator that has
tripped due to a single-phase fault detects voltage
from the unfaulted phases (e.g. delta-connected
load). This voltage could be enough to reset the
indicator. TPMVOL and OLMVOL indicators will
not false reset. These indicators reset based on
time, so even if backfed voltage is available, the
indicators will not reset.
benefit/description
Feature
AccQTrip Off the Trip logic circuitry
Prevents false tripping due to transient current surges or system overloading.
AccQClamp self-adjusting mounting provision
No need for customer to specify cable O.D. when ordering cable mount FCIs. The
AccQClamp maintains 10% trip accuracy over the entire clamping range (.4"-2.2"),
and is composed of U.V. stable polycarbonate, stainless steel reinforced materials.
Voltage reset fault indicators

Eliminate false resetting and false tripping. Ideal for use on lightly loaded circuits
where sufficient current may not be available to reliably energize a current reset type
fault indicator. Automatic reset upon restoration of system voltage and/or time reset
after four hours.
High/low trip setting selection
Coordinates FCIs with current-limiting fuses. No minimum load current requirements

and no load surveys needed.
Inrush restraint circuitry
Coordinates FCIs with circuit breaker or auto-recloser operation, avoiding

misindication due to inrush currents.
Internal adjacent phase shielding
Prevents electro-magnetic interference from adjacent phase conductors.
1 ms trip response time
Coordinates FCIs with current-limiting fuses and other protective devices.
No false trips due to back feed
Voltage operated time reset indicators will not trip or reset due to current backfeed
Quality manufacturing processes
Manufactured using state-of-the-art surface mount technology and premium quality

electronic components for the highest degree of performance and reliability. All fault
indicators meet or exceed ANSI/IEEE Standard 495-1986.

Fault Indicators

AT RISER POLE
Backfeed Prevention Using Fault Indicators

One concern, especially on three-phase
installations of fault indicators, is causing a false
trip or a false reset operation on the indicator due
to current flowing through the cable into the fault.
This current can be in the opposite direction to
the fault current and cause a false trip or reset
on indicators.

Product Application
Faulted Circuit Operation

t1 Fault Indicator is connected to the
system and powers up. At 5kV, this takes
3 minutes in the case of the test point
mounted unit and 6 minutes in the case
of the overhead type unit. At higher
voltages the power up time is shorter.
Fault Indicators
t2 Fault current is detected. Fault

Indicator is Armed after 1ms. Fault
Indicator display shows Normal.
t3 Breaker/recloser locks out and
voltage drops.
t4 Voltage is lost. A 30-second time
window allows for the protective device
to clear the fault and reclose. Indicator
changes state.
Inrush Restraint Operation

t1 - t2 Upline recloser / breaker operation
due to fault on another phase. After
100ms (t2) the Fault Indicator is disabled
because there is no fault current
detected.
t3 Recloser closes back. Voltage is back
to normal. Unfaulted phases see Inrush.
No change in the Fault Indicator display.

Basic Operation
A faulted circuit produces an associated
magnetic field which closes a reed switch in
the indicator resulting in a tripped display.
Trip response occurs in .001 seconds allowing
the fault indicator to properly coordinate
with all types of circuit protection schemes
including current-limiting fuses.
To eliminate confusing false trips, voltage
reset indicators are equipped with inrush,
backfeed, overload and cold load pickup
restraint circuitry as standard. Current
sensors are constructed with internal
shielding to prevent inadvertent tripping
when located in close proximity to
adjacent phases, such as junction
mounted applications.
Designs feature compact, shielded and sealed,

corrosion-resistant construction. The indicator
is enclosed in a rugged, impact-resistant Lexan
housing and includes an EPDM molded rubber,
test point mounting boot. A built-in pulling eye
allows for easy hotstick installation and removal
of the indicator from the test point.

Product Application
Product Application
Voltage surges that exceed the BIL rating of
the distribution system components will cause
damage to the installed equipment. To protect
against these surges, overhead surge arresters
are widely used. Their application is understood
since overhead lines and equipment are directly
affected by voltage surges (e.g. lightning).
However, the use of overhead arresters alone
will not guarantee proper protection
of the insulation in the underground
portion of an electrical distribution system.
The let-through surge from the riser pole
arresters into the underground systems could
be enough to cause damage to the aging
equipment insulation.
Elastimold MOV Surge Arresters provide highvoltage lightning and switching surge protection
of transformers, cable, equipment and other
components typically located on underground
power distribution systems. Proper placement,
voltage selection and coordination with riser
pole arresters minimizes damaging surge
voltages by improving protective margins.
Typical applications include installing an
arrester at the end of a radial system or at
both ends of an open point on a loop system.
Additional arresters can be added at strategic
locations upstream from the endpoint for
optimum protection.

200 amp loadbreak or deadbreak
components up to 35kV. Arresters
are available in three styles: Elbow

Bushing (BSA). The PSA and BSA arresters
permit direct connection, eliminating the
need for additional accessories.
ESA Elbow Arresters are also available with
a 200 amp deadbreak interface for mating
with other deadbreak accessories.
The following tables highlight the different
installation options using Bushing and
Parking Stand Arresters where Elbow
Arresters are normally used. Using BSAs
and PSAs will contribute to save space
inside transformers and improve operability.

(TYPE 2 TRANSFORMER)
ELBOW ARRESTER
AND PARKING STAND
ARRESTER
TWO ELBOW ARRESTERS

AND A FEED-THRU
This is one approach
using elbow arresters
only. (One of the elbow
arresters could be
mounted on the H1A
bushing if allowable by
operating procedures.)
This approach can

reduce overcrowding
(by eliminating the
feed-thru device).
This is desirable in a
mini-pad transformer.
BUSHING ARRESTER AND PARKING STAND ARRESTER*

This approach is best for increasing operability and reducing
transformer overcrowding
The bushing arrester allows
the source cable to be
positioned on H1A which
conforms with some
operating practices.
Potential interference between
an elbow arrester on H1B and a
cable parked on P is eliminated.
A bushing arrester mounted on

H1A can be directed downward
without interference.
The bushing arrester requires

significantly less space than
an elbow arrester used with a
feed-thru insert.
Operability is enhanced
because the open point can
be closed by moving the
parked cable to H1B without
removing an arrester.
*Transformers must be specified with bushing wells.
ADDITIONAL MARGIN OF PROTECTION

An additional margin of protection may be gained by
adding an arrester at the next transformer upstream on
each side of the open point. This application is dependent on the system voltage and condition of the cable.
OR
If an additional arrester is added in the circuit, it can be

an elbow arrester in combination with a feed-thru insert
or it can be a bushing arrester. Use of bushing arrester
will reduce tranformer faceplate overcrowding.
OTHER CONFIGURATIONS
Other configurations are possible such as specifying a
bushing arrester on every transformer. This will allow the
open point to be quickly and easily moved to any point in the
circuit while maintaining the surge protection (without moving
all of the portable surge arresters).
48
The externally mounted bushing arrester provides the surge

protection benefits without the negative factors of a under
oil arrester.
